Quiches are made with an open pastry crust that is filled with a savoury custard - making it very similar to things like cream pies. The custard can contain things such as cheese, meat, seafood and vegetables, and the quiche may be served hot, just after being cooked, or cold.
Despite the fact that quiches are considered to be a French dish, they actually originated in Germany. Similar dishes were also common in England at the time, and may possibly pre-date the German dish.
Quiche lorraine originated in the Lorraine region of France, for which it is named. What makes this quiche different from normal quiches is that it has bacon in the mix - a quiche missing said bacon cannot be quiche lorraine. The dish originally did not even have cheese in it - a common quiche ingredient - and this was added at a later date.
